Property Overview

This is a landmark property people slow down for and remember. Its distinctive Victorian-style architecture — steep rooflines, intricate trim, and a silhouette unlike anything nearby — has made it a recognizable presence in Port Orchard for years. It is more than a building; it is an address that gives a business identity, character, and lasting visibility. The highly visible, standalone 4,618 SF building is located within the City of Port Orchard's Commercial Mixed Use zoning district and lies within a designated Qualified Opportunity Zone. Renovated in 2016, the property offers ample on-site parking, an existing commercial kitchen, a fire sprinkler system installed in 2021, multiple private offices, and flexible open-use areas. Its adaptable layout supports a wide range of uses including restaurant, catering, or food-service concepts, professional services, education, healthcare, nonprofit, administrative, and specialty commercial operations.
The HVAC system was serviced recently, and the roof was maintained in 2025.
The current occupant is affiliated with ownership and will vacate following the sale. The seller requests a 40-day post-closing period to complete the transition, allowing for an orderly exit without significantly delaying a buyer's plans. Upon vacancy, the property presents a clear path for owner occupancy, repositioning, or leasing at market terms.
Because the existing occupancy reflects a related-party arrangement rather than an arm's-length market lease, historical rent is not representative of market value and should not be relied upon to estimate NOI, cap rate, or investment performance. For context only, commercial space along this corridor has recently leased in the range of $22-$27/SF annually, depending on condition and lease terms. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own independent analysis.
Qualified owner-users may explore SBA financing options, subject to lender approval. The property's Opportunity Zone designation may present strategic advantages for certain investors; buyers should consult with their tax and legal advisors to evaluate potential benefits.
